Can a planet just disappear, can you be banned from one?
Here is the story: Decided to upgrade my explorer ship from a Cobra MKIII to the Keelback, just to see how it went and cos I could fit a fighter bay
Not a large outlay, most of the modules from the Cobra went straight into the Keelback no problems. Next I hired my first crew member, cos, well I could Then headed off to a planet (Pemoeri 4 in the Pemoeri System - high G - 3.34G) I had been before to get some specific mats. Came out of the glide, bought the ship to a halt fairly high, and decided to give the fighter part of my new acquisition a quick run and learn how to dock back to the mothership. No problems with that part, eventually my new idiotic crewman bought the ship back and nearly kept it steady for me to dock. Of course he had flown a lot closer to the surface and when I took back the con, everything went bad, no thrust, Keelback falling like the brick it imitates. One bounce and the rebuy screen After penning a heartfelt letter of condolences to my dearly departed crewman's family (who never made a credit on the maiden flight), I decided to head back out to the same planet to practise high G landings (cos evidently I sucked at them).
This is where it gets strange, the planet no longer appears on the System map, nor in the navigation panel. Did I blow it up? Did the Pilot's Federation deem me incapable of attempting to land on it again? Am I barred from it for littering with the wreckage of my Keelback? Has the planet become a permanent memorial for my erstwhile but sadly departed crewman?
